Orlando Bloom shared New York apartment with Sir Ian McKellen

British actor Orlando Bloom lived with Sir Ian McKellen in New York while they were both working on Broadway.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star lived in the city while starring in “Romeo and Juliet” last year.

Director Peter Jackson let him stay in his apartment, and the actor shared it with his “Lord of the Rings: co-star McKellen, who was also working on Broadway at the time.

Bloom says, “There were two parts (to the apartment). Ian was in the big one and I was in the small one, and we were doing Broadway, so we’d get home at the end of the night and have a drink and a debrief, catch-up. It was amazing.”
